In the description for the NRG harness bar it says "This is only a show piece and not intended for actual use." For your safety, I hope this is just being used for hard parking cred.

I ordered the clutch pack through DSG Performance. The car has been great thus far but still haven't had it on track due to weather and travel schedule. First good thrashing will happen Mid March.

Any updates? Considering the stage 2 for boost related shift lag but the shifts in stock form are at least consistent; the last thing I want on track is inconsistency.
